Audemars Piguet 2012 Royal Oak Offshore Diver

Jaeger-Lecoultre

• 

   

As Aston Martin reconsiders its AMR-One LMP1 sports car racing project, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s new AMVOX5 World Chronograph LMP1 ($20,900) continues waving the green flag. Engineered with an easy-to-read, highly accurate chronograph paired with a world time function, the 250-piece limited edition is the latest model to emerge from the seven-year collaboration. Legibility was a priority for designers, who positioned two carbon fiber chronograph counters tracking hours and minutes at 3 and 9 o’clock, while seconds are counted off with a central hand. The dial, which evokes the air-vent grilles on the Aston Martin LMP1 prototypes, is highlighted with a Gulf Oil color scheme of orange and blue. And playing off the cars’ extreme technical features, the case is composed of robust high-tech ceramic mixed with zirconium and yttrium, which is subjected to heat and pressure to yield a material so hard that it can only be shaped with special diamond-tipped tools.

Our search led us to a young Milanese company, Brera Orologi, and its founder Maurizio Pasi. Pasi chatted with us briefly about starting the brand, partnering with Carlos, and how he might be moving to New York...

SpidoSpeed

 

Independently crafted and inspired by the chassis of Formula One cars, the SpidoSpeed is a designer’s chronograph. It uses a skeletonized three-part case and three-dimensional dial with “disc brake” holes. Powering the SpidoSpeed is a custom-built caliber called the LW03 with skeletonized rotor, viewable through the sapphire case back. Only 100 of these watches will be available in an “A Series,” and they are now sold at Colette in Paris. (Linde Werdelin)
